Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 1 cup kimchi
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 200 grams tofu, firm and cubed
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Begin by soaking the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and sauté until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of sesame oil, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced red bell pepper to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Stir in the kimchi and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Add the soy sauce, gochujang, and water to the pan. Stir to combine.
Add the soaked and drained rice noodles to the pan, tossing everything together to coat the noodles in the sauce.
Return the cooked tofu to the pan, and toss everything one more time to incorporate the tofu.
Remove the pan from heat and add the sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Toss to combine.
Serve immediately, with extra green onions and sesame seeds sprinkled on top if desired.
